You lucky bugger. Double check and tripple check everything my friend.
I have to go to Maroochydore on Wednesday so I thought I would pickup the other stripes then and send them both together. Hope that is ok.

I'm struggling removing the solid rivets on the wing spar ....
No problem mate, happy to help. What are you after, straight stripes or a personalised design?

Ha Ha. It sux I know but we are at the mercy of Sebastien Heintz. Not a position I am comfortable with either. I spoke to Al a couple of days ago and he is not to happy with the situation either.
I guess though we all have stuff to carry on with but just hate to admit it.

I've been putting the fuselage back together. The little stuff takes time. The Rear Attach Plates went in easy, but getting the old ones out took some time and the 2 bolts are in a difficult place when it comes time to reinstall.
I mentioned to Phill to check the Center Spar Rear Attachment Uprights, they need to be .063, mine were.040. This information is in the Photo Guide, but not on the Drawings. The new set arrived yesterday. Once I get those fitted, it will be time to rivet the Center Spar.
Since you guys are getting something out of the blogs, I will do one more dealing with the small stuff, rear attach plates, seat angles, etc.

Our dogs Bonnie & Clyde helped with the Upgrade. We walk every morning and that time was spent thinking about the Upgrade. All my "big ideas" came during those walks. It's all about templates.

I am enjoying my upholstery work but it does seem to be ever ending. Up close you can see small errors that an upholsterer would'nt have made but I am happy and will be proud to sit in it knowing that I gave it a go.

Phill
Thanks for your comments. I think by the time I'm finished mine, I will hate sewing machines. Show me some photos of what you have as hardly anyone does with their upholstery.
Phill
I feel your frustrations and thankyou for your advice. One of the reasons my progress may seem a little slow is because I'm trying to make sure that EVERYTHING between the firewall and the panel is 100% finished before the bonnet goes on. Hell it's hard enough routing things through the centre console without having to be a contorsionist to work in the foot well.
How are your flying adventures going? Have you considered the LAA's mass balance mod?
